I Use a Wheelchair. And Yes, I’m Your Doctor.

Many thanks to our colleague Susan Burch for sharing this article with us!

“People with disabilities often express fear or dissatisfaction with our health care system because they face poor access and discriminatory attitudes. This must change. Perhaps having more doctors with disabilities is one solution. As with any underrepresented group in medicine, professional diversity should reflect our population’s diversity. That simple change can bring awareness, empathy and a shared experience that ultimately makes all of us better.”
